¹H N.M.R. and infrared spectra of trimethylplatinum(IV) Schiff base complexes

Abstract

A range of trimethylplatinum(IV) complexes of the types [PtMe₃(salnr)]₂ and [PtMe₃(salnr)X] where salnr is an N-substituted salicylaldiminate anion and X = 3,5-lutidine or triphenylphosphine have been prepared from the reaction between [PtMe₃]₂SO₄,₄H₂O and Ni(salnr)₂. A detailed study of the ¹H N.M.R. spectra of these compounds is reported, and some features of the infrared spectra are discussed.
